Oligonucleotide therapeutics are revolutionizing disease treatment by regulating molecules at the genetic level, offering the possibility of treating conditions that were once considered ‘undruggable’. However, delivering oligonucleotides to tissues beyond the liver remains a key challenge, limiting their clinical applications thus far to niche indications. To achieve broader applicability, extensive biomolecular engineering is necessary to enhance the stability, tissue targetability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these structures. The intricate design of these molecules also demands sophisticated process-engineering techniques. Here we provide a collaborative Perspective from academia and industry on the pivotal role of chemical engineering in expanding the use of therapeutic oligonucleotides to treat a wider range of diseases. We discuss how the interplay between biomolecular and process engineering impacts the developability of next-generation oligonucleotide therapeutics as well as their translation from bench to bedside. Oligonucleotide therapeutics have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional small-molecule and protein-based drugs. This Perspective discusses how chemical engineering can broaden oligonucleotide applications to extrahepatic diseases and enable larger-scale production, ultimately allowing treatment of more prevalent conditions than is currently possible.
寡核苷酸疗法通过在基因水平上调节分子来彻底改变疾病治疗,提供了治疗曾经被认为“无法治疗”的疾病的可能性。然而,将寡核苷酸输送到肝脏以外的组织仍然是一个关键的挑战,限制了它们的临床应用到目前为止的适应症。为了实现更广泛的适用性,需要广泛的生物分子工程来增强这些结构的稳定性、组织靶向性、药代动力学和药效学。这些分子的复杂设计也需要复杂的工艺工程技术。在这里,我们提供了一个从学术界和工业界合作的角度来看,化学工程在扩大治疗性寡核苷酸的使用以治疗更广泛的疾病方面的关键作用。我们讨论了生物分子和工艺工程之间的相互作用如何影响下一代寡核苷酸疗法的可发展性以及它们从实验室到床边的转化。寡核苷酸疗法已经成为传统的小分子和基于蛋白质的药物的有前途的替代品。本展望讨论了化学工程如何扩大寡核苷酸在肝外疾病中的应用,并使其能够大规模生产,最终使其能够治疗比目前可能的更普遍的疾病。

Avoiding the worst effects of climate change depends on our ability to scale and deploy technologies faster than ever before. Scale-up has largely been the domain of industrial research and development teams, but advances in modeling and experimental techniques increasingly allow early-stage researchers to contribute to the process. Here we argue that early assessments of technology market fit and how the physics governing system performance evolves with scale can de-risk technology development and accelerate deployment. We highlight tools and processes that can be used to assess both these factors at an early stage. By bringing together technical risk assessments, scaled physics modeling, data analysis and in situ experimentation within multidisciplinary teams, new technologies can be invented, developed and deployed on a shorter timetable with greater probability of success. This Perspective argues that early assessments of technology-market fit, as well as how the physics governing system performance evolves with scale, can de-risk technology development and accelerate deployment. The authors highlight tools and processes that can be used to assess both these factors at an early stage.
避免气候变化的最坏影响取决于我们比以往任何时候都更快地扩展和部署技术的能力。扩大规模在很大程度上是工业研究和开发团队的领域,但建模和实验技术的进步越来越多地允许早期研究人员为这一过程做出贡献。在这里,我们认为对技术市场适应性的早期评估以及控制系统性能的物理特性如何随着规模的发展而发展,可以降低技术开发的风险并加速部署。我们强调了可用于在早期阶段评估这两个因素的工具和过程。通过在多学科团队中整合技术风险评估、规模化物理建模、数据分析和现场实验,可以在更短的时间内发明、开发和部署新技术,并提高成功的可能性。该观点认为,对技术市场适应性的早期评估,以及控制系统性能的物理特性如何随规模发展,可以降低技术开发的风险,并加速部署。作者强调了可用于在早期阶段评估这两个因素的工具和过程。

Here we elucidate the intricate interplay between the nucleophilicity swing and pH swing mechanisms in aqueous quinone-mediated carbon capture systems, showcasing the critical role of understanding this interplay in the material discovery cycle. This insight prompts the development of two in situ techniques. The first technique employs in situ reference electrodes and capitalizes on discernible voltage signature differences between quinones and quinone–CO2 adducts, allowing for the quantification of the isolated contributions of the two mechanisms. The second method is developed based on our finding that the adduct form of the quinone exhibits a fluorescence emission from an incident light at wavelengths distinct from the fluorescence of the reduced form. Thus, we introduce a noninvasive, in situ approach using fluorescence microscopy, providing the capability to distinguish species with subsecond time resolution at single-digit micrometer resolution. This technique holds promise for studying quinone-based systems for carbon capture and beyond. In an aqueous quinone-mediated system, both pH swing and nucleophilicity swing mechanisms contribute to CO2 capture, but traditional measurement methods report only the combined contributions, without quantifying their relative contributions. Here the authors introduce thermodynamic and kinetic analyses coupled with two in situ experimental techniques to quantify the contributions of these mechanisms.
在这里,我们阐明了在水醌介导的碳捕获系统中亲核性摆动和pH摆动机制之间复杂的相互作用,展示了理解这种相互作用在材料发现周期中的关键作用。这种见解促使了两种原位技术的发展。第一种技术采用原位参考电极,并利用醌和醌- co2加合物之间可识别的电压特征差异,允许对两种机制的孤立贡献进行量化。第二种方法是基于我们的发现,醌的加合形式在入射光的波长上表现出与还原形式的荧光不同的荧光发射。因此,我们引入了一种使用荧光显微镜的非侵入性原位方法,提供了以亚秒时间分辨率在个位数微米分辨率下区分物种的能力。这项技术为研究以醌为基础的碳捕获系统以及其他领域带来了希望。在醌介导的水溶液体系中,pH变化和亲核变化机制都有助于CO2的捕获,但传统的测量方法只报告了两者的综合贡献,而没有量化它们的相对贡献。在这里,作者介绍了热力学和动力学分析,并结合两种原位实验技术来量化这些机制的贡献。

Preventing water droplet accretion on surfaces is fundamentally interesting and practically important. Water droplets at room temperature can spontaneously detach from surfaces through texture design or coalescence-induced surface-to-kinetic energy transformation. However, under freezing conditions, these strategies become ineffective owing to the stronger droplet–surface interaction and the lack of an energy transformation pathway. Leveraging water volume expansion during freezing, we report a structured elastic surface with spring-like pillars and wetting contrast that renders the spontaneous ejection of freezing water droplets, regardless of their impacting locations. The spring-like pillars can store the work done by the seconds-long volume expansion of freezing droplets as elastic energy and then rapidly release it as kinetic energy within milliseconds. The three-orders-of-magnitude reduction in timescales leads to sufficient kinetic energy to drive freezing droplet ejection. We develop a theoretical model to elucidate the factors determining the successful onset of this phenomenon. Our design is potentially scalable in manufacturing through a numbering-up strategy, opening up applications in deicing, soft robotics and power generation. Preventing freezing droplet accretion on surfaces is practically important, yet challenging. Leveraging the water volume expansion during the freezing process, a structured elastic surface with spring-like pillars and wetting contrast is reported, which renders the spontaneous ejection of freezing water droplets, regardless of their impacting locations.
从根本上讲,防止水滴在表面上积聚是一项有趣且具有实际意义的研究。在室温下,水滴可以通过织构设计或聚结诱导的表面-动能转化从表面自发分离。然而,在冻结条件下,由于液滴-表面相互作用更强,缺乏能量转化途径,这些策略变得无效。利用冻结过程中水体积的膨胀,我们报告了一个具有弹簧状柱和湿润对比的结构化弹性表面,无论其撞击位置如何,都可以自动喷出冷冻水滴。像弹簧一样的柱子可以将冷冻液滴在几秒钟内体积膨胀所做的功储存为弹性能,然后在几毫秒内迅速以动能释放出来。时间尺度上的三个数量级的减小使得有足够的动能驱动冷冻液滴喷射。我们开发了一个理论模型来阐明决定这一现象成功发生的因素。我们的设计在制造业中具有潜在的可扩展性,通过数量策略,在除冰、软机器人和发电方面开辟了应用。防止冰冻液滴在表面上积聚实际上很重要,但也很有挑战性。利用冻结过程中水的体积膨胀,构造了一个具有弹簧状柱和润湿对比的弹性表面,使冻结水滴无论在什么位置都能自发喷出。

Aromatic esters possess flavor and fragrance qualities that are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, microbial production of these compounds is hampered by a limited understanding of the natural biosynthetic pathway and the relatively low titer and yield. This study establishes a microbial platform for the efficient production of various aromatic esters. A systematic engineering strategy was developed, involving reshaping the substrate access tunnel to enhance enzyme substrate specificity, shifting acetyl coenzyme A metabolic pathways to improve cofactor supply and engineering a dynamic regulation system to redistribute the carbon flux from cell growth toward product synthesis. The implementation of these approaches led to the production of 10.4 g l–1 benzyl benzoate, representing a 4,700-fold increase in titer compared with the initial strain. This work showcases a bacterial platform for the efficient production of aromatic esters and offers insights into overcoming challenges in microbial cell factory construction. Biosynthesis of aromatic esters is challenged by unclear natural pathways and low efficiency. This study presents a bacterial platform for efficient production, using systematic engineering strategies including enzyme identification, reshaping enzyme tunnels and automating cellular resource allocation to enhance output.
芳香酯具有风味和香味的特性,广泛应用于食品、制药和化妆品行业。然而,由于对天然生物合成途径的了解有限,以及相对较低的滴度和产率,这些化合物的微生物生产受到阻碍。本研究建立了高效生产各种芳香酯的微生物平台。研究人员开发了一种系统的工程策略,包括重塑底物通道以增强酶底物特异性,改变乙酰辅酶A代谢途径以改善辅因子供应,以及设计一个动态调节系统以重新分配从细胞生长到产物合成的碳通量。这些方法的实施导致生产10.4 g - 1苯甲酸苄酯,与初始菌株相比,滴度增加了4700倍。这项工作展示了一个有效生产芳香酯的细菌平台,并为克服微生物细胞工厂建设中的挑战提供了见解。芳香酯的生物合成受到天然途径不明确和效率低的挑战。本研究提出了一个高效生产的细菌平台,使用系统工程策略,包括酶鉴定,重塑酶通道和自动化细胞资源分配来提高产量。
